Read More »The “whoosh effect” is a term that some people following a ketogenic, or keto, diet use to describe the seemingly sudden weight loss that occurs. This article looks into what the whoosh effect is, what the research says about it, and the potential risks of following a keto diet for weight loss. What is the ‘whoosh effect?’ Share on Pinterest There is little scientific evidence to suggest that the whoosh effect is real. According to some social media sites and blogs, the whoosh effect is a term that describes the noticeable weight loss that occurs when following a specific diet — particularly the keto diet. The idea behind it is that when a person burns fat, the fat cells lose fat but fill up with water. People claim that this makes the body feel loose or wobbly to touch. People then report that after losing enough fat, the cells will gradually increase their water to fat ratio until they are all water. Then, the body will release the water from the cells through urine or diarrhea. Some people believe that when the body expels this excess fat and water, it will be noticeably slimmer. What the science says When the body burns fat, fat cells do not fill with water. Fat cells, or adipose tissue, store excess energy. When the body burns more calories than it takes in, the body expels excess fat and the fat cells shrink. In fact, when a person loses weight, the body converts most of the fat into carbon dioxide, which a person expels when breathing out. Although the body does convert a much smaller percentage into water, there is no evidence to suggest that the cells begin “filling with water” and suddenly disappear when they no longer contain any fat. The whoosh effect that people claim to experience may actually be due to losing “water weight.” If the body becomes dehydrated, it begins to store water. This can make people feel more bloated or heavier than they would usually. Once a person drinks enough water, they will lose the excess water weight, which can appear as a noticeable loss of weight.
